Microscopic Hematuria and Proteinuria for IgA Nephropathy: How to Manage

It is uncommon that proteinuria occurs without microscopic hematuria in IgA Nephropathy patients. Therefore, when coming to proteinuria treatment for IgA Nephropathy, it is necessary to manage microscopic hematuria effectively and actively. Do you know how to deal with them?

Microscopic hematuria and proteinuria in IgA Nephropathy

As said by nephrologists, two typical presentations of IgA Nephropathy are persistent microscopic hematuria and episodic gross hematuria. Compared with gross hematuria, microscopic hematuria tends to occur with the older age range and is always accompanied by proteinuria or albuminuria.

For IgA Nephropathy patients, their hematuria usually appears after upper respiratory infections, while protein leakage in urine can indicate renal mechanism barrier and charge barrier are damaged.

Based on the above causes, we give out the following treatment suggestions.

1. From the perspective of hematuria onset, reducing the risk of infections is one helpful remedy. Thereby, IgA Nephropathy patients had better do regular exercise to strengthen their immunity and avoid cold. Once infections occur, take timely treatments to manage them.

2. Speaking from proteinuria management, ACEi, ARB, steroids and many other Chinese medicines can help alleviate proteinuria effectively. The key is to choose correct medications to eat.

3. Since microscopic hematuria and proteinuria are associated with impaired kidneys, the above remedies are far from enough. Only if IgA Nephropathy is under control and kidneys come back to work normally, can these two symptoms disappear.

Effective treatments to deal with IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy is one result of autoimmune disorder and inflammatory reactions in kidneys, so one treatment that can regulate immune system and curb inflammatory reactions is needed. From this point, Immunotherapy can help a lot. With closely linked six steps, Immunotherapy can not only remove the deposits of IgA in kidneys but also correct immune system and repair damaged kidney cells. Generally speaking, after about 4 or 5 weeks, patients’ kidney function level, or GFR, will increase obviously, so proteinuria and microscopic hematuria fall away.
